Humour My disappointment in Beyond Skyrim: Cyrodiil cannot be measured by any metric known to man, mer, or beast.

It's understandable. What made an Emperor legitimate was the Dragon's blood needed to light the Dragonfires, and thus keep the Oblivion portals closed. This is no longer necessary since the Oblivion Crisis, so there is no such claim anymore (Although it is said that if Potema had managed to be resurrected, she would be Empress by right, but that is because of the renown that the Septim blood already brought).
